Voting Assistance Guide (VAG)

The Voting Assistance Guide (VAG) is a reference guide for absentee voting regulations, laws, deadlines and procedures across all 55 States and U.S. territories. It is the primary source of information for citizens covered by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) regarding procedures for registering to vote, requesting a ballot and voting in a specific State or territory of legal residence. The VAG is regularly updated to accommodate State changes. A list of changes (errata sheet) is available to include changes since the most recent printed version was published.
